Interesting fact I learned

[rainman]

This is about the post I made in the thread about "body builder you would most like to look like". Lou Ferrigno was supposedly looked at as more buff and better bod then Arnold back in their early days. Lou made his role as the incredible hulk. But arnold got the bigger screen movies. this was only because Lou Ferrignos English was not very good, and this is why Arnold is the big star he is today and not Lou. Arnold spoke english better. Lou used to beat him all the time in the strong man competitions and other contests they had. Just an interesting fact i learned.

Im not that familiar with all the body builder names. But yes there is no doubt they were all great. Dont mean to put any of them down I just thought it was interesting that if Lou could have spoken well we would all know him and Arnold wouldnt be that well known at all except to the bodybuilding world.

Lou was almost completely def, what the fuck you expect and i'm sorry but Arnold still has trouble speaking english today.

Yep. That's what I was fixing to say. His english was fine for someone who was def.

Also, Lou looked more like a monster. Arnold was more astectically pleasing.

Exactly arnold looked better and Lou would never of gotten the roles arnold did. Part of the reason arnold dose so good at everything is confidence and everything arnold touches turns to gold.

Watch the film pumping iron to see why arnold became a bigger star than louie . In fact arnold was already a superstar in the BB community because of his physique and personnality. In the film, arnold behaves like a king and louie like a child.

Also arnold looked better on stage. Louie was bigger for sure (that scene in the end of pumping iron in the us when he's sitting near arnold.....) but size is not everything.
